Where to Ask in Lincoln County
Start with the office tied to the custody system. Sheriff Bob Bushman is listed for the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff and jail may be reached at 322 N. Wallace St., P.O. Box 166, Ivanhoe, MN 56142; phone 507-694-1664; fax 507-694-1325; or bbushman@lincolncountymn.gov. No public-counter hours or fixed release-record fee were published in the reviewed county material. Call before an in-person visit, and ask for an itemized estimate before ordering chargeable copies.
For a state-prison or MNDOC supervision record, contact the Minnesota Department of Corrections, 1450 Energy Park Drive, Suite 200, St. Paul, MN 55108; phone 651-361-7200; central records co-records.doc@state.mn.us. Minnesota Haven / Victim Assistance is available at 1-800-657-3830. Those contacts do not replace the Lincoln County Sheriff for a routine county-jail booking or release entry.
The Lincoln County District Court is at 319 N. Rebecca Street, Ivanhoe, MN 56142; phone 507-680-7005. Published counter hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., subject to holidays and closures. Court copy charges vary by document and service, so use the current court fee schedule or ask Court Administration.
Choose the route that matches the question:
- For a named person’s Lincoln County release or an existing release record, use the home search and records path, then contact the Sheriff for the official entry.
- For probation or supervised release, consult Probation & Parole and verify through the listed court, MNDOC record, caseworker, or supervising office.
- For a recent county-jail custody change, follow Jail Releases: 24 Hours. Lincoln County does not publish an official rolling release feed.
- For an expected date or an alert, compare Projected Release with VINELink Inmate Search. Minnesota VINE is free at 1-877-664-8463, with registration or PIN help at 1-866-277-7477.
- For a particular custodial system, use the facility links in the footer and contact the operator shown on that page.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, search the MNDOC Locator and contact MNDOC central records when the public record needs explanation.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Neither system confirms a release solely from the Lincoln County Jail.
